Help on Updated Drag wheel look

I have been running Telstars for the last 8 years now, and now I am starting to think a new look in wheels would be a nice change to my car. Everyone around my town is running Weld RTS and billet specialties. I like those but I don't want to copy. The wheel would need to be able to hold up to street driving well, as that is what the car see's mostly.

If anyone has pictures of a dark colored Transam, or GTA with some of the new style wheels that are out now that would be great.

Here are some pictures of the car in action on 325/50/15s with a 6.5bs 15x10:

RTS are some of the nicest out there.

RaceStars are your other option...cheaper too. Seem to be a pretty popular option. Lots of people do different color powder coatings on them.
